“…After only one bounce (full gyromotion), these reflected ions gain enough energy to pass through the shock front and penetrate into the downstream region [Sckopke et al, 1983;Lembège, 1990;Hada et al, 2003;Mazelle et al, 2003;Lembège et al, 2004;Ofman et al, 2009;Yang et al, 2009aYang et al, , 2009bYang et al, , 2012Ofman and Gedalin, 2013]. Such a process results in anisotropic distributions of the downstream ions and leads to the excitation of Alfven ion cyclotron and mirror waves [Gary et al, 1976[Gary et al, , 1994Winske and Quest, 1988;Gary, 1992;McKean et al, 1995aMcKean et al, , 1995bMcKean et al, , 1996Wang, 2005, 2006;Shoji et al, 2009;Hao et al, 2014]. In a quasi-parallel shock, the reflected ions do not have a trajectory restricted to one gyromotion upstream but can escape upstream along the magnetic field.…”
